When I went to the harbor, there was a large cruise ship docked, and just seeing it made my heart race with excitement. I opted for a simple whale watching plan, but the breakfast buffet also looked delicious.
For the first hour, we couldn't see any whales or even dolphins. The upper deck felt quite shaky, and since we couldn't see any whales, the kids started to feel seasick and were complaining about wanting to go back because they were scared of the rocking (I think motion sickness medication is a must).
I thought we might not see anything today, so I went down to the first-floor deck and relaxed in a chair. Suddenly, we spotted a mother and calf whale off Waikiki Beach! For about 30 minutes, we were able to watch them spout water and leap dramatically out of the water with their tails.
The kids, who had been grumbling, were suddenly thrilled and seemed very satisfied with the cruise. Winter in Hawaii can often be cold for pools and beaches, so I really recommend whale watching!
港に行くと大きなクルーズ船が停泊していて、それを見ただけでも心躍る気分でした。
シンプルなホエールウオッチングだけのプランにしたのですが、朝食ブュッフェも美味しそうでした。
始めの1時間ほどはクジラどころかイルカも見えず。屋上デッキは結構揺れが感じられ、クジラも見えないし子供たちは船酔いしてきたかも…とか、揺れるの怖いから帰りたい…とかグズグズでした(酔い止め薬は必須かと思います)
こちらも今日は見えないのかもと1階デッキまで降りて椅子に座りながらのんびりと過ごしていたら、ワイキキビーチ沖で親子のクジラ発見!30分ほどの時間ゆっくりと何度も潮吹きや尾びれをダイナミックに水上に跳ね上がる姿を見ることができました。
グズグズしていた子供たちも一気に大興奮で大満足のクルーズになったようです。
冬のハワイはプールやビーチも寒い時が多いのでホエールウオッチングは本当にオススメです!

I got seasick on the boat before boarding the submarine. In the morning, the waves were high and it was very rocky. I think it's essential for those who get seasick to take motion sickness medication. However, I was glad that I was able to see turtles.

I did this tour with my friend who is not from the island. It was her first time on a submarine and she was amazed by how beautiful it was underwater. The boat ride to the submarine was very smooth and because the weather was so nice we decided to sit on the top deck. The view from the deck was amazing. Just as we departed we were able to see a sea turtle swimming next to our boat. The submarine ride itself wasn't so bad we were able to see turtles, sharks, and a lot of fish. It was a bit cold so I do recommend bringing a jacket since you will be underwater for quite some time. My friend and I really enjoyed the tour and we would love to go back and try it again!
Mahalo for your 5-star review! We are so happy to hear that you enjoyed your recent experience with us, from the shuttle boat ride to the deep-sea exploration. We love hearing from our guests and are thrilled to know you had a fantastic submarine adventure! Thank you very much for sharing your valuable feedback and recommendation.

I really liked how this whale watch cruise kept you entertained the whole time. Unfortunately we didn't spot too many whales on the day I went, but the cruise experience itself was still really nice. The lunch buffet was good and fresh. Then they offered activities to do while on board, like hula lessons, lei making, and ukulele lessons, which makes this the perfect cruise for families with little ones. These activities weren't just for kids though, many of the adults were participating too. It was great to be able to roam around the entire boat and getting to see the whales from the top deck, which is a lot higher than any of the other whale watch cruises!

When I got onto the boat the weather didn't seem so nice and I thought it was going to be gloomy but as the boat departed the weather started to clear up and it was blue skies! The view from the boat was amazing. The island looked so beautiful from a far. I've been living here my whole life and I never realized how beautiful it was. The food they provided on the boat was very delicious. If I wasn't so full I would have definitely gone back for more. Sadly, I was not lucky enough to have spotted any whales, however, I did get to see spout a couple of times. Even though I wasn't lucky enough to spot any whales I was still very entertained. The music and activities they provided on the boat was so much fun. I got out of my comfort zone to participate in hula dancing. I was super embarrassed but I still had a lot of fun. I would definitely want to go back again and bring my family on this tour.

I participated with my 3-year-old and 5-year-old children. The staff were very attentive, and we all had a great time! However, swimming with the dolphins was still a bit difficult for the kids, so we watched from the boat. Even for adults, it can be tough if you're not used to swimming. If you're confident in your swimming skills, it's amazing to see the dolphins swimming around up close multiple times!
There are also plenty of fun activities like slides, kayaking, cheeseburgers, and hula dancing! One suggestion would be to have smaller gear sizes available for the kids.
3歳と5歳の子供を連れての参加でした。
ずっと面倒見の良い方ばかりでみんなで楽しむことができました!!ただ、イルカと一緒に泳ぐのは子供達にはまだ難しかったです。船上で見ていました。
大人でも泳がなければならないので慣れていないとキツイです。泳ぎに自信があれば間近でイルカが何度も泳ぎ回るので最高です^ ^
それ以外にも滑り台やカヤック、チーズバーガーにフラダンスと楽しむポイントはたくさんです!!
注文としては子供達のギアのサイズももう少し小さい物を用意してほしいです。

From the pickup location, we took a bus to board at Honolulu Harbor, where the captain welcomed us. If you look up a little, you can see other cruise ships and planes in the sky (these are passenger planes from Honolulu Airport). As we departed the resort, we headed towards Waikiki while passing container ships, resort ships, and Coast Guard vessels. Just this alone gives you a feeling of being on a sightseeing cruise.
From here, we went to a point where whales are known to be, waiting for them to surface for air. I didn't know this myself, but whales don't stay at the surface all the time, and they don't go to various places just to be found. We went out to the side of the boat and searched for whales. But don't worry! When a whale appears, they announce it over the loudspeaker in a clockwise direction. It's okay if you're not good at English. People will quickly move to the right or left. Once a whale dives, it won't surface for more than 20 minutes, so even if you see one, you might not see it multiple times. I was lucky enough to see them twice this time. However, there is a law called the 100-yard rule (keeping a distance of over 100 yards from the whales), so you can't see them up close. When I saw them the second time, one happened to surface right next to the boat, making it look huge. (In this case, the rule is to turn off the engine to avoid harming the whale.) You won't necessarily see them every time. It's best to book on a sunny day according to Hawaii's weather forecast.

There were fewer people, so it was a joint tour with the Dolphin University group. Therefore, it was on a two-story boat. This was my second time participating, but I preferred the previous tour that was only with Dolphin Junior High. The single-story boat had a sense of openness, and personally, I didn't think the hula dance was necessary. During the final hula dance, only some people from the university and the crew were really getting into it, while we, including the junior high students, seemed quite exhausted and a bit disengaged. I understood that the snacks were different for the junior high and university, but it didn't feel good to see that disparity right in front of us.
It was quite intense, but the junior high tour was a good one that eliminated unnecessary elements, so I would definitely like to see the junior high operate on its own. I think I will participate again next time.
人数が少なかったのか、イルカ大学の方達と合同でのツアーでした。なので2階建てのボートでした。2回目の参加だったのですが、前回のイルカ中学だけのツアーの方が良かったです。ボートも一階建て?で開放感がありましたし、私的にアロハダンス?は必要なかったので。最後のアロハダンスで盛り上がってるのは大学の一部の方達と、クルーの方々だけで、私たちを含め中学の方達はかなりしんどそうで若干シラけていました。軽食も中学と大学で内容が違うのは分かっていましたが、目の前で格差が生まれるので良い気分ではなかったです。
結構スパルタですが、中学のほうは無駄を省いた良いツアーなので、ぜひ中学は中学のみで運行してもらいたいです。また次回も参加すると思います。
ALOHA!
Thank you for participating in Dolphin Middle School!
The boat used may differ from the usual one due to inspections and reservation status, or we may use a joint boat with Dolphin University.
I sincerely apologize for not being able to meet your expectations this time, as the situation was different from your previous participation when you were on separate boats.
Additionally, Hawaiian dance is typically experienced by everyone at Dolphin Middle School and Dolphin University.
Participation in Hawaiian dance is entirely voluntary, so for those who are not interested or feeling tired, it is common to just observe without being encouraged to participate. I apologize if this was not communicated effectively.
Thank you for your valuable feedback.
We would be delighted if you could join us again in the future.

This was my first visit.
This trip included four adults and three children from my family, including my youngest who is only three years old, so we participated in the Dolphin Encounter that everyone could enjoy.
The weather was great, making it perfect for the tour.
The cheerful dolphin trainer and the very gentle and charming dolphins made the kids extremely happy!
They take photos of you kissing the dolphins.
However, those photos are quite expensive!
It's $75 for two photos of you kissing the dolphin on the cheek and on the mouth per person.
There was no way we could buy one for everyone, so I only got one for my parents as a keepsake.
Also, you can't get the family photo data unless you purchase the photos.
I would appreciate it if they could reconsider the pricing a bit.
The park isn't very large, so even the kids could walk around easily.
They were delighted to see sea turtles and baby sharks up close.
There are also play equipment in the park, which was great for the kids who were getting bored!
It's a facility that a three-year-old can enjoy, so it's probably more suitable for younger children.
初めて訪れました。
今回の旅は両親と私たち家族の大人4名子供3名。
まだ一番下の子が3歳なので、みんなで体験出来るドルフィンエンカウンターに参加。
お天気もよく、ツアー参加には申し分ない気候でした。
陽気なイルカの調教師さんと、とても優しくチャーミングなイルカを触れて子供達も大喜び!
イルカとキスしてる写真を撮ってくれます。
ただ、その写真がとっても高額!
1人につきイルカとほっぺにキスと口づけ写真2枚で75ドル。
とてもじゃないけど、全員分なんて買えなかったので、両親の記念にと両親の分だけ。
また家族写真は写真を購入しないとデータがもらえません。
もう少し金額を見直して頂けると嬉しいです。
Parkはそんなに広くなく、子供の足でも全然歩けます。
ウミガメやサメの子供など間近で観られるので喜んでいました。
園内には遊具もあり、暇を持て余す子供達に良かったです!
3歳の子供が十分楽しめるくらいの施設なので、小さなお子様向けかな。

As we boarded the boat and set off, we spotted dolphins swimming in the distance. I was excitedly wondering if we would see a whale next! I gazed out at the sea, but it took a while for one to appear. While enjoying a different view of the streets of Waikiki and Diamond Head, we floated on the water... and then, could it be a whale?! I noticed a splash of water rising up. And finally, a whale jumped high out of the water!!
I want to see it again!
船に乗り少しすると遠くの方でイルカが泳いでるのを発見。
次はクジラか⁉︎とワクワクしながら海を眺めましたが、なかなか現れてくれませんでした。

I had never been to Hawaii during whale watching season before, and this was my first attempt at whale watching. I boarded the boat with high expectations, but unfortunately, I wasn't able to see any whales... tears. The morning boat ride was pleasant with the sea breeze, but it's still disappointing not to see anything. We were returning home the next day, so we didn't use it, but I heard that if you don't see any whales, you can receive a free boarding ticket. (Transportation to the boat is separate.) I thought it was nice that they have such care in place.
これまでクジラが見られる時期にハワイにきたことがなく、ホエールウォッチング初挑戦でした。期待を膨らませて船に乗りましたが、残念ながらクジラを見ることはできませんでした…涙
早朝の船で海風も心地よかったのですがやっぱり見れないと残念ですよね。

We participated as a couple. The experience lasted about 15 to 20 minutes, but time flowed very slowly, and we were able to see sea turtles and fish up close. We were very satisfied!! During the waiting time, we could have gone snorkeling, but unfortunately, I got seasick and couldn't do it. However, since there are two types of activities available, I highly recommend it!! The timing was from morning to early afternoon, so we were able to enjoy shopping back in Waikiki as well! My husband and I were looking for activities that could be done in half a day, so this tour was perfect for our wishes. I would love to participate again.
夫婦2人で参加。
15〜20分程度ですがとてもゆっくりとした時間が流れておりウミガメも魚もとても近くで見ることが出来ました。大満足です!!
待ち時間にはシュノーケリングも出来ましたが、
残念なことに私が船酔いしてしまいできなかったのですが2種類のアクティビティが出来るのでとてもオススメです!!
時間は朝から昼過ぎだったので、ワイキキに戻って買い物も楽しめました!私達夫婦も半日で出来るアクティビティを探していたのでこのツアーは私たちの希望にピッタリでした♩

I had a hard time figuring out the meeting place, and even when it was time, there was no sign, so I was wandering around the harbor. I was happy about the all-you-can-drink beer, but the cruise distance was too close to Oahu, and there were no whales around here, as expected. It felt a bit overpriced.
集合場所が分からず、時間になっても表示もなくハーバーの周りを右往左往して大変でした。
ビール飲み放題は嬉しかったが、クルーズする距離がオアフに近くこの辺りではクジラはいないでしょという距離で、案の定現れませんでした。ちょっと高い料金に感じました。

I experienced underwater scooters, snorkeling, and paddle boating, and the sea was beautiful with stunning views. It was a valuable experience to see many fish and sea turtles up close. The staff were also friendly and approachable, and there were staff members who spoke Japanese, which made it easy to enjoy the activities. However, since I participated in January, the wind was a bit chilly, so I think it's a good idea to bring a light jacket or a thick towel depending on the season.

The water temperature is warm, and a wetsuit is not necessary. My second grader was able to participate with help from the crew. The kindergarten child observed with the captain on the boat. You can't swim with the dolphins as much as you might think. It's best not to have overly high expectations. However, the crew is a lot of fun, and we got to see dolphins, whales, and turtles. The departure event and hula dancing were fantastic! After seeing the dolphins, we were given cereal bars and drinks, which were water. During the meal, cheeseburgers, snacks, and juice boxes were provided. It's best not to have overly high expectations for the food. The boat sways, and many people leave food behind. If you're going to participate, the price is high, but the university program is good. The middle school program doesn't have the high diving kayak slide and only offers snorkeling. It's an experience worth having at least once, as it's something you can't do every day. The entire crew was amazing! Thank you so much to Maki, JB, Kela, and everyone else.
水温は暖かく、ウェットスーツ不要。小2の子はクルーに助けられながら参加できた。幼稚園の子は船長と船で見学。思ったほどイルカと泳げはしない。過度な期待は禁物。でも、クルーは楽しい人たちばかりだし、イルカ鯨亀を見れたし、出航イベント、フラダンス最高!イルカ見てからシリアルバーのお菓子が配られ、飲み物は水。食事の時にチーズバーガーとスナック菓子、パックのジュースが配られる。食事に過度な期待は禁物。船上で揺れるし残す人が多い。参加するなら値段は高いが大学が良い。中学は高飛び込みカヤック滑り台がなくシュノーケルしかない。一度は体験した方が良いほど普段できない体験ができる。クルー全員最高!マキ、JB、ケラなどなど本当にお世話になりました。

When the submarine dives, it becomes stable and comfortable. There were many fish around the coral reefs and sunken ships, which was enjoyable. Above all, I was thrilled when a sea turtle swam right in front of me—there were several of them! I think this is an experience you can't have often, so I recommend trying it at least once.

I had a wonderful experience! The waters in Hawaii aren't very deep, so I was able to enjoy activities without fear. Compared to Japan, the sea was quite blue and beautiful.
What I liked the most was stand-up paddleboarding. I rode on a board floating in the sea, but it was unstable, making it very difficult just to stand. However, the sense of achievement when I managed to stand was incredible, and it felt refreshing. When I participated, the wind was blowing strongly, making it hard to go in the direction I wanted, but it was fun to paddle while riding the waves. The trainers were kind and taught us well, so even beginners can enjoy it!
During this tour, you can chat and laugh with other participants while having fun. Riding a small boat to cut through the wind until we reached the open sea felt great. It's an activity that can be challenging without being overwhelming, tailored to individuals, so I highly recommend it!
素晴らしい経験ができました!ハワイの海はそんなに深くないので、怖くなくアクティビティできました。また、日本と比較してみるとかなり青い海で綺麗でした。
私が気にいったのは、スタンドアップパドルボードです。海に浮かばせたボードに乗るのですが、不安定なので立つだけでも非常に難しかったです。その分立てたときの達成感が凄く、爽快な気分になりました。私が参加したときは風が強く吹いていたので思う方向に進むのは難しかったですが、波に乗ってパドルを漕げたら楽しいです。トレーナーの方々が優しく教えてくれるので、下手な人でも楽しめます!
このツアーでは、他の参加者ともお話ししながら笑いながら遊べます。広い海に出るまで小型のボートに乗って風を切るのも気持ちいいです。個人に合わせて無理なくチャレンジできるアクティビティなのでおすすめです!

I encountered a large pod of dolphins, swam with sea turtles, and was lucky enough to see a whale as well. The staff were friendly, and the captain was fun; it was a wonderful day.
イルカの大群と遭遇、海がめとの帆泳、運よくクジラも見る事が出来ました。
親切なスタッフ、楽しい船長さん、素晴らしい1日でした。

"We got no troubles, life is the bubbles, under the sea!" It was inevitable that "Under the Sea" from The Little Mermaid would be playing through my head on this tour. I've always been fascinated by ocean life and would love to someday learn how to scuba dive...but until then, this submarine tour is the perfect--and only--way to explore the world under the sea.
The shuttle out to the dive site not only provided great views of Diamond Head and Waikiki, but also gave us the chance to see exactly where we'd be descending and what part of the bay we'd be exploring.
I've actually done this tour twice and enjoyed it just as much the second time. On both tours we saw sea turtles, star fish, and tons of fish in various shapes, sizes, and colors. During the second tour we also got the chance to see two scuba divers exploring one of the sunken ships.
The crew were all very friendly and knowledgeable and provided lots of interesting facts and details about what we were seeing.
I highly recommend this tour to anyone interested in seeing a completely different world, so unlike what we see every day on land. Take Sabastian's advice and go "under the sea!"
Mahalo for your 5-star review! We are so happy to hear that you enjoyed your recent experience with us. We love hearing that you were able to see some amazing views. We're also excited you were able to see some great marine life! We hope to have the pleasure of welcoming you back aboard in the future! A hui hou (until next time).

This was my third time participating in whale watching, but unfortunately, there were no signs of them coming to the surface this time.
It was disappointing, but the weather was nice, and I had a great time leisurely watching Waikiki Beach. I felt a bit anxious when I saw black smoke rising from the sea.
I hope to try again next time!
3度目のホエールウォッチングへの参加でしたが、今回はご縁がなく一度も水面に上がってくる気配がありませんでした~
残念でしたが、お天気がよくワイキキビーチをのんびり眺める良い時間でした。
海上より立ち上がる黒い煙を眺めるタイミングにザワザワしてしまいました。
また次回リベンジしたいと思います!
Thank you for using Star of Honolulu. We are truly sorry that the whales did not make an appearance. However, we are very pleased that the weather was favorable. We hope you will join us again on your next visit to Hawaii, and we will continue to strive for improvement.

At first, I was worried about whether I would see whales, but once we got out to sea, I was able to see spouts and the tails as they entered the water. I couldn't see the whole whale, but it was great to witness such a dynamic scene.
Additionally, the weather was calm that day, and the sea breeze felt refreshing, washing away my worries.
I opted for breakfast this time, but it felt a bit rushed to grab it before departure, so I didn't really enjoy it leisurely. This was a disappointing aspect, but I plan to skip breakfast next time.
While whales are the main attraction, enjoying the view of Waikiki from the sea while feeling the ocean breeze is also a delight.
はじめはクジラが見れるか不安でしたが、いざ海に出てみると潮吹きや海に入る際の尾びれなどを見ることができました。くじらの全体像は見れませんでしたが、ダイナミックな光景を見れたのはよかったです。
また、この日は風も穏やかで海風が気持ちよく、気持ちを洗い流された感じです。
今回は朝食を付けたのですが、出港前にあわただしく取りにいく感じてゆっくり食べた気はしませんでした。このあたりは残念な点でしたが、次回は朝食無しでお願いするつもりです。
クジラがメインではありますが、海風にあたりながら海からワイキキを見るのも一興です。
Thank you for using Star of Honolulu. We are truly delighted that you were able to see whales. It seems you also enjoyed the Hawaiian climate. Regarding the busy breakfast, we will share your valuable feedback with our staff and work on improvements.

I was disappointed that I couldn't see any whales. I tried hard to find them, but I couldn't. I heard that I could get a re-boarding ticket, but there is no transportation provided, and if I don't see any whales next time, I would feel even more disappointed, so I decided not to take the re-boarding ticket.
クジラにあえず残念でした。がんばって探したのですが、見つからず。再乗船券ももらえるようですが、送迎などは無く、次回もクジラに会えなかったらもっと残念に思うので、再乗船券はもらいませんでした。

They jumped beautifully with Diamond Head in the background. I wish they could jump again since we could see it so close to the land.

The weather was calm, and the boat seemed to be less crowded, allowing us to enjoy it leisurely.
We encountered dolphins along the way, but unfortunately, we didn't see any whales.
I had heard that this time of year has a high chance of seeing them, so that was a bit disappointing...
穏やかな天気のなか
船も空いてる様で
ゆったりと楽しめました
途中イルカに遭遇しました
ただ残念ながら鯨は見れませんでした
この時期高い確率で見れると言う事でしたが
そこだけが残念…

I often go to Hawaii during summer vacation, but this time I decided to go in January for the first time, so I participated in a whale watching cruise to see the winter whales. It was a cloudy day with strong winds and high waves, which might be why the whales were not showing up. The captain announced that we would be turning back today, and the boat started to head back.
Then, from the other side, there was a cheer! Surprisingly, a whale was spouting water! And even its large tail fin! The boat made another U-turn to get closer to the whale. I'm grateful to the kind captain.
ハワイは夏休みに行くことが多く、今回はじめて1月に行くことになったので、冬のくじらに会いたいとホエールウォッチングクルーズに参加しました。この日は曇り空で風も強く、波が高かったせいかなかなか鯨が出てきてくれず、キャプテンから今日はUターンするとのアナウンスがあり船は引き返すことに。
そこへ反対側からなにやら歓声が!なんと、鯨が潮を吹いているではありませんか!そして大きな尾びれまで!
船はもう一度Uターンして鯨のそばまで行ってくれました。やさしいキャプテンに感謝です。
Thank you very much for using Star of Honolulu. We are truly delighted that you enjoyed the cruise. We will continue to strive for improvement while hoping you will join us again on your next visit to Hawaii. Thank you very much.
